Preface
Romance Writers, do you want to:
Keep your name in front of your readers with more releases and titles?
Learn why you should write shorter in order to write quicker?
Meet and exceed your yearly writing goals?
Participate in multi-author boxed sets for increased visibility and profit?
Claim your fair share of your reader’s attention span among today’s tsunami of information by producing a series of novellas or episodic serials?
Make more money while writing less?
If you do, you must master the art of writing shorter works while still providing your readers that great experience of your personal brand of storytelling and character voice.
In today’s ebook market, visibility is enhanced by always having something new in front of readers. After a reader closes your book, there are literally millions of offerings competing for her attention: books by other authors, video games, apps, movie clips, social media, chats and forums, and online parties.
The very best time for you to grab a reader and hold her attention is to have another story for her to read right away while she’s still basking in the afterglow of the story she just finished.
It’s really a no-brainer.
You either have a tremendous backlist like Nora Roberts or Stephen King, or you must build one quickly and effectively.
Writing novellas will do that for you. Trust me.
In today’s attention deficit world of instant messages and news bites, you as a writer will need to figure out how to write compelling novellas that will keep readers coming back for more.
You will build your author platform faster, gain more fans, and make more money. Who doesn’t want to do that?
In this book, I’m going to show all the ways to leverage your novellas to gain market share and increase your visibility with readers. I will also show you how to consistently write engaging and high quality stories that will entertain and enrich your readers.
What is a Novella?
Short answer: A complete story in twenty to forty thousand words. (Romance Writers of America definition).
Yes, this is arbitrary, and you’re welcome to scour the internet on the debate of actual word count, but I’m betting you want to get started and leave the academic research to others.
Since we want to write high quality novellas,
